Free

The landscape
so wide and far away
Fighting these chains
My desire
to live
and be free
I can’t give up
Not again
Not anymore
Gasping
short of breath
Eyes twitching
Restless
Heart beating
hurts my skull
So desperate
Panic
Fight or flight
What will it be?
Free
I’m finally free
Running to the hills
Past the trees
Lungs on fire
and legs burning
the sweet agony
of freedom
I will never return
